Over 100 Au Pairs “Kick up their Heels” Learning Country Line Dancing at the February meeting

What do you get when you combine 5 LCC’s and over 100 au pairs?  A wild & western theme event at Borderline!

We traveled by car, bus & possibly covered wagon to get to our February meeting at a local restaurant/bar/dance hall in Thousand Oaks, CA.  Twice during that evening, we were taught  Country Line Dances.  The dance floor had people tapping, sashaying, twirling, laughing & singing along with the lively music.  Three au pairs won Starbucks gift cards awarded for Best cowboy/cowgirl costume.  Additionally,  we had a drawing where two lucky au pairs were awarded a $25 gift certificate.  This was a true Americana experience for our au pairs that represented over 20 different nations.
